    1. WOODSON - ANABLE- PARKER Family Photograph
    2. Shelley Cardiel
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of Ella WOODSON which was taken at the W.P. Johnson Studio in Salem, Oregon. The name Ella WOODSON ANABLE PARKER also appears on the photograph, so I'm assuming the WOODSON was her maiden name and the other names were married names. The photograph appears to have been taken in the 1880's with Ella appearing to be in her 20's at the time. Based on limited research I believe that this may be a photograph of Ella WOODSON daughter of John & Augusta WOODSON who were all living in Yoncalla, OR during the 1880 census. Ella was just 12 years old at the time, born in OR as were her three siblings living with the family at that time, including, Dora age 6, John age 5, and Laura age 1. Ella's father listed himself as a Farmer, age 40 and born in Missouri and her Mother listed as just 23 years old. Not likely old enough to have a 12 year old daughter and much younger than her husband, this may have been his second wife and not Ella's Mother. I'm hoping to locate someone from this family so that this wonderful old treasure can be returned to family. If you are a member of this family or know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
